How is the performance of this phone and does it have any heating issues?

Yes, please don't buy this phone. It is not at all worth your money. I just bought the phone a month ago and regretted my decision.
Let me give you the pros and cons so far:
Pros:
- Great camera
- Turbocharger charges your phone fast
Cons:
-Heats, if you play or work or you have multiple tabs open in the Chrome or recording or charging your phone
- Battery life is not that good.
-Slow processor, for example, it takes 30 to 40 sec to take one pic.
-Some weird glitch happens with your phone.
I hope this helps.

I think it's a great phone, it has some heating problems but it's not an issue. It gets charged very quickly because it has turbo charger and you can play heavy games on it.

By ujjwalsaxena09, 25 months ago

Mark Helpful (164)

Yes, a little bit. But it does not affect the performance of the phone.
Also, sometimes its screen starts to vibrate while charging.

By kabirsingh076, 28 months ago

Mark Helpful (150)

Yep, it does have heating issues often during charging times and in camera mode.

How is the resolution of the phone?

It is pretty decent for the price you pay. If you are asking for the screen resolution, then it's the best. Whereas if you see the camera side, you can easily and very nicely use the front camera for video chat for a very good clarity on the other side. Also, the other thing to see is the night time selfies, which are also good for taking 'Snapchat filters'. Also, the back camera is really good for taking varied scenery.

Can we shoot continues video?

Yes you can, until you have available space in internal or external memory which you have selected.
Second good option available in camera is that you can make video with flash which helps to capture clear video at night or where proper light is not available at that moment.
Hope it will help you

By sonumrt17, 22 months ago

Mark Helpful (216)

Yes, it can. But I have experienced a sudden exit of the camera while continuous shoot.

By akhiltj2606, 21 months ago

What is the warranty period of this product?

One year, but believe me it is of no use. When you reach to the service centre, you will get one reply that we can't cover this phone under warranty because of liquid damage. If you don't believe then visit your nearest service centre before buying this product. I've experienced the same at the service centre.

Can I play heavy games in this mobile?

Yes, of course, you can very well use it for playing any heavy games. Remember it's Moto, you are getting an appropriate processor for your liking. Nothing more - nothing less.
Buy it and be assured you are playing with a sincere device with rugged strength.

By ravindrasardeshmukh, 27 months ago

Mark Helpful (212)

Yes, you can. But the only problem is with the battery backup. It drains faster, if you play heavy games, and rest everything is good.

By krishna.knnj, 27 months ago

Mark Helpful (149)

Yes, but the phone performance will be slow, and also the device gets heated up pretty quickly.

By neelufarbanu, 27 months ago

Mark Helpful (130)

Yes, you can play heavy games. I also play, and there is no lagging or hanging on the phone.
